5 weeks Pregnant - Pregnancy Update

How I am feeling:

Symptoms:

The is it or isn't it UTI feeling has disappeared, hooray! But I have been waking up bursting for a wee first thing in the morning. Absolutely no hanging around in bed! I've been feeling pretty bloated and I'm not sure why, I am drinking lots of water though.

I've started feeling hungry in the mornings but sometimes I rapidly go off eating anything; the longer I leave eating the weaker I feel so I have been having regular snacks. I woke up one morning feeling a tiny bit queasy, but I had a lot of stressful things on my mind which probably contributed to that sensation.

Food:

Still been rather enjoying bananas which is very strange!

Skin:

Still pretty good, hooray!

Sleep:

Sleeping pretty well for the moment, but occasionally feel a bit sleepy in the day around 3pm.

Embryo development:

The ever-growing ball of cells is roughly the size of a sesame seed and the basic placenta and umbilical cord is already working.
